[PATCH bpf-next 1/2] bpf: Add bpf_task_from_vpid() kfunc

[Juntong Deng]

bpf_task_from_pid() that currently exists looks up the
struct task_struct corresponding to the pid in the root pid
namespace (init_pid_ns).

This patch adds bpf_task_from_vpid() which looks up the
struct task_struct corresponding to vpid in the pid namespace
of the current process.

This is useful for getting information about other processes
in the same pid namespace.
